How many people have been killed from illegal betting?

Do you support Joelinton... would you cheer him if he scored.. did you state the disrespect to the public of England and especially the public in and around Newcastle where he was driving was there to be seen?

Or is the fact that Newcastle United didn't suffer so its all ok?

I can check through your posts around Joelinton on here for that particular event to see how much disdain you had for him at the time...

People make mistakes.. I would 100% say Joelinton's is worse than Tonali's.. tell me I'm wrong?
It's not a fair comparison although i get where you are coming from.

The Joelinton one seemed different because it didn't appear calculated or planned, whereas Tonali's did.I don't care less about the actual betting. Betting on your own team to win is hardly morally repulsive. I actually think the punishment coming his way is harsh if thats all he did (I think he used an illegal platform etc).

How drunk was Joelinton? For more context, how many people have died in car collisions where drink or drugs was not involved?
The logic being applied to Joelinton would mean no one should ever drive again.

Joelinton was a prat for doing it, but he didn't intend to harm Newcastle United or anyone else. That doesn't make it ok.

Tonali planned this **** (it appears), which is why I am so angry about it. I will of course reassess my view if further information comes to light that contradicts my current opinion.
